I have to say I am IN LOVE with it! I just finished getting everything printed, copied, and laminated! Yippee! The pack includes everything you need for Earth Day- YES…. EVERYTHING!! Reading, Writing, Math, Science/Social Studies, & Art Let me share some pictures. Finding Ways to Reuse (Science/Social Studies) In this 16-page book, students will read about the importance of reusing. They will read facts about some everyday objects and develop three ways they could be reused. Recycle and Feed Me (Art) Two options are given for this activity. A ready made poster, where students will color and write what things to feed the recycle monster. is provided. Students can create their own larger monster in the recycling bin and attach it to the poster. All parts are included and on separate pages for easy copying, in case you want to copy on colored paper. Helping Our Earth (Reading) Students will read about Earth day and how we can recycle, reuse, and reduce. Two related activities are included! Meet the Greedy Garbage Monster (Writing) Students will write the Garbage Monster about how he is being too greedy and allowing everything to go in the garbage can instead of being recycled. Task Cards (Math) Students will stop at each task card and solve the word problem on addition, subtraction, money, and time. Don’t miss out on this amazing unit!! Grab it here!
